With a kick-off event from 7 - 9:30 pm on Thursday, November 26, Feral Five will be hosting a series of live musical evenings at The Crossing Pub in Sharbot Lake. Referred to as “Music and Friends”, the evenings are designed to showcase good quality, local, amateur musicians, and will take place on a regular basis (usually the 4th Thursday of the month). The featured guest for November will be Bob Miller, a skilled luthier (or maker of stringed instruments) who resides with his family in the Sharbot Lake area. He was an active member of the Toronto folk music scene in the late '70s and can best be described as a singer and multi-instrumentalist performing a mix of folk, Celtic music and instrumentals. I'm sure the audience will be in for an enjoyable performance. A $5 cover charge will be collected at the door. Anyone interested in a meal before the music starts, should make reservations at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn (613-279-2198) in advance.

After a break over Christmas and New Year's, “Music and Friends” will continue on the 4th Thursday of February, March and April, providing music lovers with an opportunity to escape from any 'cabin fever' that might be setting in during these winter months. Most of the line-up for these evenings has been set with the goal of exposing our audiences to both new talent and previous performers who have endeared themselves to our listeners. Having enjoyed hosting “The Center Stage Cafe” over the last number of years, we want to thank our friends at the Legion for their support and hope that our previous audiences will continue to join us at our new venue. We certainly look forward to many evenings of enjoyable, live, musical entertainment ahead.
